Folks, in the discussion about preempt count consistency across kernel configurations: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200914204209.256266093@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ it was concluded that the usage of in_interrupt() and related context checks should be removed from non-core code. This includes allocation mode (GFP_*) decisions and avoidance of code paths which might sleep. In the long run, usage of 'preemptible, in_*irq etc.' should be banned from driver code completely. This series addresses most of the SCSI subsystem. The first three patches have Fixes tags and address bugs were noticed during review. Sebastian
